Which NFPA standard is known for setting guidelines on the safety of compressed gases?

NFPA 55
NFPA 96
NFPA 91
NFPA 45

The correct answer is: NFPA 55

NFPA 55 is the National Fire Protection Association standard that specifically addresses the safety requirements for compressed gases and cryogenic fluids. This standard establishes guidelines for the storage, use, and handling of these materials to prevent incidents and ensure worker and public safety. It encompasses various aspects such as proper containment, separation of incompatible materials, and safe operational practices. The other standards listed focus on different areas: NFPA 96 pertains to ventilation control and fire protection of commercial cooking operations, NFPA 91 deals with the installation of duct systems for smoke control, and NFPA 45 provides guidelines for fire protection in laboratories using chemicals. Each of these standards serves its unique purpose but does not center on the safety of compressed gases, making NFPA 55 the relevant choice for the question at hand.
